Significant project, but growth is limited and micromanaged - Designer Ontario Transit Group Employee Review

No Pros, just work no pros

No work life balance, just work

The project is interesting, but how much you do will depend on the team you’re assigned to. Benefits of commute reimbursement is good and you get a fair amount of time off/personal leave days

For design co-op in particular, I found that I often times had not enough work and had to bug people for things to do, and senior staff would only interact with me when they needed something. Overall there aren’t that many other coop students and the age gap makes it hard to interact with full timers- they also don’t generally have an interest in talking to you. This role in general doesn’t have any set tasks so what you do is entirely up to whoever you’re assigned to. Work is also repetitive and after the first 2 months I stopped learning.
